Republican gubernatorial candidate John Faso may get another key endorsement this morning (Tuesday) from Assembly Minority Leader Jim Tedisco, R-Schenectady.

Faso has been squaring off against William Weld and the two will meet this week at the Republican state convention on LongÂ Island.

Tedisco’s endorsement shouldn’t be a surprise as Faso once held Tedisco’s job as minority leader.Â The endorsement could add to the momentum that Faso seems to be picking up amongÂ county committees who appear to be going against the wishes of their chair-people, some of whom have been told to back Weld.Â Â
